"If food goes into the lungs..."

From what I`ve read in other medical article in newspapers and journals, if food goes into the lungs, it could cause pneumonia when it decays, obstruction, or inflammation same as any other biodegradable object that went into the lungs. The exception would be whether a fish or animal bone was inhaled into the lungs that would not decay, but just fester with infection. So this question should be asked of a doctor who can examine the person or animal, maybe take x-rays or digital images to see what`s in the lung. There have been articles written about pneumonia being caused by petroleum jelly being inhaled into the nose. Check with a healthcare professional to answer this question which really needs a medical doctor to answer correctly. The quickest way to get an answer is to call up a healthcare professional and ask this question.

Someone said: When food continues to become lodged in the lungs, It will cause Death. Infection will spread to the Blood and septic will follow. In the end Pneumonia will set in. The persons voice will appear to have a high pitch and the person will complain they cannot breath, leaning forward. Panic and confusion . Thiswas the way my Father passed away this past Christmas. He was living in a long term care, they were aware that he had issues with swallowing for some time. They did not mention this to any family members that they had him on a mashed diet. It was too late, my husband found him in confusion, then the home rushed him to the hospital, but it was too late. His death was haunting, I regret that he was ever placed in this home.

You should definitely talk to your doctor as soon as you can. Vomit is ver acidic and that acid could really hurt your lungs b/c your lungs don`t have the same kind of protective lining like your stomach has that protects your stomach from burning up while you digest your food.
Good luck and I`m sorry that happened=6
Feel better!=))

This happened to me 6 weeks ago with a small fragment of chewing gum. I`ve been misdiagnosed as having allergies, even though I have insisted all along that I know I inhaled this. I am going for a chest xray today (finally), and we`ll see what happens next. I`m wondering: how did it turn out for you? I am a 57-year-old woman.
